Hi everyone, I dont know if this is indicative of an issue with the radio or not but as I was just uploading firmware 4.05 into my K3 (#4257) it needed to retry the upload to the FPF 49 times in total into various memory segments. No other area's reported failures or issues. It has never done this before on any firmware uploads. I have included the relevant text from the utilities activity log below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10:15:08 Sending firmware file hfpf0110.hex to FPF 10:15:08 Retry 4 successful at address x000040 10:15:08 Retry 5 successful at address x000050 10:15:08 Retry 2 successful at address x000060 10:15:08 Retry 5 successful at address x000070 10:15:08 Retry 2 successful at address x000080 10:15:08 Retry 1 successful at address x000090 10:15:08 Retry 2 successful at address x0000A0 10:15:08 Retry 1 successful at address x0000C0 10:15:08 Retry 1 successful at address x0000D0 10:15:09 Retry 5 successful at address x0000E0 10:15:09 Retry 3 successful at address x0000F0 10:15:09 Retry 2 successful at address x000100 10:15:09 Retry 5 successful at address x000110 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x000130 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x0001C0 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x0001D0 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x0001E0 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x000200 10:15:09 Retry 1 successful at address x000210 10:15:09 Retry 2 successful at address x000270 10:15:10 Retry 1 successful at address x0002B0 10:15:10 Retry 1 successful at address x0002D0 10:15:10 Retry 1 successful at address x000340 10:15:58 Waiting for MCU reset to complete 10:16:04 Total number of retries was 49 10:16:04 Highest number of retries for any block was 5 10:16:04 Loaded FPF firmware version "01.10". Radio responded with version "01.10" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One has to wonder if there maybe an issue with the memory in the radio's firmware?
